Return of My Russian Favorites

Last year, this was my favorite image from Russia. I framed a large print and put it in my museum.



But this year, Nadya was no longer living in the orphanage. Word travels around fast in these small towns and she came out to play with the Americans. Needless to say, she was easy to spot. I joked around with her for a while and got her really comfortable with the camera so me and Joe Photo could do a photo shoot with her for Children's Hopechest (the group that helps out the kids).
